One reason is that many of the arguments we hear this year - alleged statistical anomalies, sinister tabulation machines, etc. - are the same arguments folks made about Ohio in 2004, it was just different people making the same (absurd) claims.

The biggest difference is that the 2004 objectors were largely on the fringe (though the ranking member on House Judiciary continued to push the conspiracy theory for years). In 2020, the President is on board, and party leaders are too quiet out of cowardice.

It's not that partisans of one side or another are more prone to accept conspiratorial claims. It's that in 2020 political "leaders" have abdicated their responsibility to show leadership and check such tendencies within their tribe.

Own money? What are you talking about? 100% of the bill was funded with borrowed/printed money.

This is fair, but let’s also keep in mind these same people then pushed for reforms that boost confidence in the process that didn’t exist in 2004 like requiring public L&A testing, VVPATs for touch screens, and post election audit processes.

Hawley & Co. will instead use these questions about credibility they’ve manufactured to push oppressive voter suppression efforts instead.

It's a dangerous, naive mistake to think there is no such thing as election fraud or subterfuge which seems to be the assumption here. Trust, but verify. Oversight, but evidentiary. This isn't a dichotomous all or nothing situation. 00, 04, 16, Ga 18 and 20 were not the same.

That is not my assumption.
